"Well diabetes has a significant negative effect on circulation. It reduces blood flow. It reduces the ability of the body to get nutrients to the cells and if the cells are starving for nutrients, then they're going to die. It significantly impairs thinking and cognition because it affects circulation to the brain. The other way it affects circulation, is that it dramatically increases the risk for formation of plaque within the arteries; the arteries that feed the brain as well as the arteries that feed the heart. So, the chances that one might develop a coronary artery disease or heart attack are five times greater than someone who does not have diabetes. The chance of losing a limb are very, very high when one has diabetes because it impairs circulation which means it is impairing the ability of the body to repair any kind of damage and also to reduce or kill any sort of organism that has invaded the foot or the hand or another limb."
